MISREPRESENTATION,
When the leaders and press of a party
have to, and do, resort to misrepresenta
tion and fraud, in o-der td secure party
success, it is high time for every honest
member of that 'party to cast about and
ascertain if honor and good conscience do
not require him to cut loose from it, and
oppose its nefarious schemes. Tbe Repub
lican party is reduced to that detestable
position. Every candid person who bas
read lhat portion of theRepublican amend
ment to the Chinese treaty which admits
Chinamen to our schools, and accords to
Chinamen all the rights and privileges en
joyed in this country by the citizens and
subjects of the most favored nations, must
admit that ths Republican party thereby
labored to secure Chinese immigration to
this? country. Every person who ha; no
ticed the rapid increase of the Chinese
population on this coast, within the past
year, must admit that that party has been
v?ry successful in its Chinese immigration
pcheme. Every person who reads the rad
ical papers, must observe that they are
the warm and energetic champions of the
Chinese residents of this country, and that
they carry this Chinese preference to the
extent of denouncing and opposing white
laborers, and are now charging the
decrease of wages on this coast to the emi
gration from the Atlantic States, 61 white
laborers. Yet these same papers will la-;
bor assiduously to convince the people
that Chinese immigration is decreasing, in
stead of increasing, and that it is not the
Republican, but the Democratic party,
that is responsible for the Chinese immi
gration to thi3 country. As a case in point
the daily Oregonian, ot the 3d inst,, says
that Mr. John Stuart Mills, (of England),
in response to a letter addressed to him by
a gentleman of California, asking his
views on the general subject of Chinese
immigration to America, and its probable
consequences, says :
He believes that if Chinese immigra
tion should attain very great dimensions
the result would be economically injuri
ous to the mass of the present population;
but he thinks it highly improbable that
those people will come here of their own
accord, in such large numbers as to com
pete injuriously with American labor.
e
We also think that the Chinese would
not come here in such numbers as to be
injurious to the mass of the population of
this country, were it not for tbe induce
ments held ont to them by tbe Republican
party. Rut the Oregonian continuing,
says :
This is a sound opinion, and. thongh Mr.
Mills cculd not well be aware of it, the
fact is very apparent here that the Chinese
population in America is now rather di
minishing than increasing. For several
months more Chinese hare been departing
Irom than entering California. The last
steamer from San Francisco to China car
ried seven hundred ; the last steamer but
one took upwards of one thousand. The
arrivals, on the other hand, are now not
rj numerous as they were several years
ago. Very few are born in this country,
and of those now here none expect to re
main. . - . , -
The" radical parly is driven to the wall,
and is in a desperate condition, when it
has to call upon Englishmen, thousands
of miles distant from the scene of action,
to excuse and extenuate its accursed and
destructive mongrel policy.
The Oregonian ignores th fact that the
Jeannle Alice brought a eargo of Chinamen
to Portland last spring, and that thousands
f Chinamen .have arrived in California
and Oregon within tbe past jear,nd -that
they are now being taken to the southern
States by tens of thousands. But because
two steamers this fali took from San Fran
cisco something less than two thousand
Chinamen, it announces that the Chinese
population of this coast is decreasing, in
stead of increasing.
Again, tte Oregonian cannot, and does
et, fcnow that the Chinamen now here do
' not expect to remain, and such assertions
are- eertawly made for tie sole purposes
of blinding the people, and quieting the
fan of thoflo Republicans who do not
endorse the Chinese immigration policy of
the Republican party. We do not believe
that such men can be caught or retained
by such unreasonable and silly twaddle
and chaiT.
Rui again, that paper wishes to shift the
odious responsibility of the Chinese immi
' gration scheme from ihe Republican to
1hc Democratic party, and forthis purpose
r sorts to further misrepresentation. It
ftiys; ,
They do sot &omP in families to settle,
and were it not for tho schemes of south
ern planters to bring them in and work
them under the coojbj system, ue should
eeno reason to wippo that their num
bers in America would ever be au.rmon
mI so as to much exceed tb ratio Hn'y
bear at present to our wbjte popula
tion. The whole importance which ttt qvteg
tion has yet attained in this country is fic
titious and ephemeral, because that impor
tance iiasnot grown out of the appearance
of the subject in any great social and eco
nomical asp-act.but has proceeded from the
efforts of political charlatans and office -hunting
demagogues who have found it a
good card to play for partisan purposes.
J!ut every agitation of this character must
necessarily be short-lived, the ''Chinese
question'5 as a political lever, has already
lost its power. Tbe Democratic party can
make nothing more of it. The aci n of
So ithem Democrats, who are the only
persons p- oposi- g 'o import CL ne u 1 ibor,
completely contound the petty e'ena
gognes of that party in "the Northern
btates who have beeu using th'w thing as
a political weapon. Stop tfieae coolie im
portation schemes, and thero w no danger
that the Chinese will ever come to the
United States in such number a to do in
jury to the mass of the white working
population..
Were the South now, as it once was,
the Radical papers might, with some
plausibility, talk about Southern Demo
crats and the Democratic South. But at
the present time the'subjugated people of
the Southern States, are under the abso-
,,lto control of the unprincipled and ty-
havo deprived them, hot only of all po
litical rights; but have also forcibly, or
fraudulently taken from them their lands
and other property. As an evidence of
this, the Morning Chronicle of Washing
ton City (a Radical paper) has an adver
tisement from two to five columns in
length-, every day, by which tbe Southern
emigrant society (composed of Northern
speculators) advertise Southern lands and
homesteads for sale cheap.
And as a further means of ascertaining
the political complexion ot the ruling ele
ment of the Southern States we will take
a glance at the Congressional Directory of
the Fortieth or last Congress.
From it we learn that the United States
Senators from Alabama are :
Wii.t.aud Wakxkk. was born in Ohio,
was in the army and was mustered out in
1865 : was then elected and served two
years in the Senate of Ohio, and was elect
ed United States Senator from Alabama
in July 1808. 0
The Directory does not State that he
ever resided in Alabama, at all.
Gkorge E. Spkxcer, was born in Jeffer
son county, New York ; was in the army ;
was appointed Register of Bankruptcy in
the 4th District of Alabama, in May 18G7,
anl in July 18G8 was elected United
States Senator from that State.
Her Representatives in Congress are :
Fkaxcis W. Keixooo of Massachusetts,
who went to Alabama as collector of in-
ternal revenue in 1865.
Giiart.es W. Buckley who was born in
New York, and after the surrender of the
rebels in Alabamawas appointed Super
intendent of education for the Freedman's
Bureau of that State.
Benjamin W. Nonius, born in Maine,
was a pay master in the army, and after
the surrender settled in Alabama.
Cuari.es W. Pierce, who is not favored
with a biographical sketch. Perhaps his
character was too prominently bad for
that.
John B. Catxis, born in Fayetteville
North Carolina, in 1828, went to Tennes
see in 183-1, and in 1810 went into Wiscon
sin. Joined the7 army in that State. Set
tled in Alabama in 1SG5, and was at that
time a Brevet Colonel in the regular
army. Resigned his commission in 18GS
for the purpds of taking a seat in Con
gress. Thomas IIauguey, born in Glasgow
Scotland. 3 It is hardly necessary to add
that all of the foregoing memb'ers are
'I good union men," aud very loyal to the
Republican party.
We have not space sufficient to give
biographical sketches of all the members
from the "Democratic South," and have
been thus particular in giving short bio
graphical sketches of the members from
Alabama as a sample of the whole batch
of tbe 'members of Congress from the
other Southern. States. Hereafter,
we shall merely give the num
ber and political complexion of the mem
bers from each Southern State. 'With one
or two cxceptionSjjtbey are all hangers on
of the army and carpet baggers.
Arkansas has two Senators and three
Representatives, all Radicals and loyal to
the Republican party.
Florida has twro Senators and one Rep
resentative, all carpet baggers, and loyal
to the party in power.
Georgia has no Senator, but seven
Representatives? in Congress," all of whom
Are carpet baggers of recent importations
from the New England States, except one,
and all Radicals except one. "
Louisiana lias two Senators and three
representatives in Congress, all of whom
are Republicans. There are two vacancies.
The Second District was represented by
James Mann, a Democrat, but he died in
September 18(8, and his seat is now
claimed by Simon Jones, a Republican of
tbe white trash order, by J. W. Menard, a
negro, and by Caleb S. Hunt, a Democrat.
The Democrat was put last in the Directo
ry, as above given, and there can be but
little doubt that be will come out last in
the contest before a Radical Congress
One of the blacks will get it, and it mat
ters little which is the fortunate man.
The third District was cairied by the
Democrats, but the seat is contested by
the defeated Republican candidate, not on
the ground that the Democratic candidate
elect received illegal votes, but because
he U ineligible. Congress will oust the
Democrat and let the Republican in
the good of the party demands it."
Norvni Carolina has two Senators and
seven Representatives in Congress, all of
whom are Republicans, except one, and
be is a conservative.
gorru Carolina has two Senators and
four Representatives in Congress, all of
whom ari Radicals and very loyal to that
party, -
Texas and Mississippi not represented,
and cannot fce uriil they adopt the I5tb
Ajhcjidroent, gotten jjp the purpose of
manufacturing tbs Chinese iLt Radical
voters.
East Vikgi-ia not represented at that
time.
West Virginia Las two Senators 8yd
three Representatives all of whom are loy
al to the corrupt party in power.
If Democrats controlled the business or
the politics of the Southern States their
farms and homesteads would not be ad
vertised for sale by Nortbren speculators,
neither would they send to Congress the
kind of men which now misrepresent those
States.
Yet, in the face of these facts, tbe Ore
goninn, and other Radical sheets, are con
tinually prating about the ' Democratic
South' procuring Chinese laborers to
work their plantations. These things are
done for the purpose of deceiving and
quieting the people until the loth Amend
ment shall be adopted, or reported to be
adopted by three fourths. of the States,
and the naturalization laws changed, by
striking out the word white, then we will
be told about the Chinese voting, as the
Oregonian told ns about the negro that
4 h who don't know that the negro will

KEPIBL1CA. DUPL.1CITY.
The Daily Oregonian of the 8th inst.. in
an attempt to manufacture capital for the
Republican party in general, and for
Senator Williams in particular, says : 2
Senator Williams has introduced a bill
in the Senate to prohibit the importation of
Chinese into the United States on the "coo
He" system, and to punish tbe same with
heavy , penalties. This suits us exactly.
It is in accordance with the policy always
advocated by the Republican press. But
it will be terribly severe on the late slave
holders. the Southern Democracy, who
have got contracts with Koomanschap for
thousands of Chinese laborers at nine dol
lars a month and a few pounds of rice and
a few ounces of bacon per week for food.
Senator Williams is right. By all means
let us prohibit this traffic in what is':virtu
ally slave labor.
The introduction of this bill is like the
Senator's proof that twenty miles of the
Oregon Central Railroad was finished, all
manufactured for political effect, and has
no foundation in fact. Put unfortunately
for the Oregonian, the capital it expects to
make out of this little affair, accredited Sen
ator Williams, is destroyed by other articles
which appear in the same paper. In an
other article it says :
We publish to-day a highly interesting
article relating to the Chinese in America.
It is prepared from authentic sources, and
its statements are undoubtedly reliable.
The figures presented make it? evident
that the number' of Chinese in the United
States is increasing very little if any. 1 h
details of the article are worthy attentive
study.
The article referred to in the last ex
tract contains the following passage.
The objection to the Chinese coming to
this State, on the ground that they arc
"voones, " or not iree agents, ii so easily
refuted, that it is remarkable that such a
delusion should be entertained by any cit
izen of the United States. No Chinese
emigrant 'can leave any of the Chinese
ports for this country without a permit
from the resident American Consul,
whose duty it is to see that every one ot
them goes on board free, and to satisfy
himself of that, fact before giving his seal
to their pass. In this State there is an
Emigration Agent, whose duty it is to see
that those who arrive are the same that
were passed by the Consul in China.
Some time since, we published a por
tion of an Act of Congress which act pro
hibits the importation of Coolies into this
country, and authorizes the infliction ol
heavy penalties for its violation. Unless
the Senator is an ignorant Ass, he is cer
tainly familiar with this law, and knows
that it is unrepealed and in full force to
day. Now if this law is n'orccd, and the
coolies are thus prevented irom coming
to this country as stated in the Oregoninn
what is the use of Senator William's bill ?
The distinguished aid erudite Senator
is not opposed to other Chinamen immi
grating to this country, it is only the
coolies who are already, prohibited and
prevented from coming here, that he is la
boring so patriotically to keep away.
The Senator and his friends are guilty
of some very silly and absurd political
maneuvering.
It the law, now in existence prohibiting
the importation of coolies, does not-pre
vent them from coming here, a te-enact-
meht of the same or a smilar prohibitory
law will not keep them away. But the
Oregonian says that the coolies are pre
vented from coming to this country un
der the present law and regulations. If
these, are facts, the distinguished Senator
has some other object in view which he
hopes Ins ante Coolie bluster will assist him
in reaching.
The fact is, the Senator is very anxious
to be returned to the United States Senate'
again, and true to tbe Republican policy
of deception, he has adopted this plan of
ante coolieism for the purpose of making
the people believe that he is opposed to
Chinese, immigration to this country.
Does he think that the people are fools
anl that they can be cajoled and hum
bugged in this way ? If he does we be
lieve that he Is greatly mistaken in his
views, and that the result of the'eext elec
tion will prove it. .
In addition to this, Serator Williams has
in common with the Republican party,
three great objects in view at the present
time, which are :
1st To encourage and induce Chinese
immigration to this country and cheapen
labor.
2nd Then enfranchise the celestials and
vote them for the Republican party.
3rd To deceive the people and keep
them in the dark as to the true intent of
the Republican party until these objects
shall have been accomplished.
Truly, Senator Williams is a faithful
Representative of the Republican party.

the Willamette Falls Canal and Lock Co..

COURTESY OF BANCROFT
A PAIiTJSAV COUllT. -
On last Tuesday wc had an exemplifica
tion of Republican5 honor, honesty and
justice, in our County Court' :
But before giving a statement of the
partisan feeling manifested on this occasion
it will be necessary to relate another cir
cumstance which occurred some time since.
Last fall some mules were stolen from this
vicinity. A warrant was issued and plac
ed in the hands of Mr. Myers who went in
pursuit of the thief and stolen property.
The thief was arrested and the stolen prop
erty recovered, and taken possession of by
the Sheriff, and the thief placed on' anoth
er horse, which ho said was his own, and
they started, for this place? In fringing
the prisoner in, Mr. Myersrode in front,
one deputy at the side of the prisoner, and
another behind bim. In passing through
some woods, however, the prisoner man
aged to slip cfiVhfr horse, and ran. ,.Pur
suit was rriaue, but be managed to escape.
The horse was brought into town, and un
der an order of the County Court was sold
to assist in defraying the expenses of the
search after, and arrest of, the thief.
At this term of the Court, Sheriff Myer3
presented for allowance his bill for ser
vices as such officer ; and, among other
things, there was a' charge for $35 for
mileage' in collecting taxes. This item the
court would not allow. Mr. Myers then
reminded .the .Court of the fact that it had
allowed W. P. Burns, his predecessor, not
only mileage for collecting faxes, but had
also paid him $12 for a guard, to guard
him while collecting. This the Court
doubted, and said that Mr. Burns was as
undaunted a man as ever lived, and that
when he went after a man he brought him,
doubtless insinuating against Mr. Myers in
regard to the escape of the horse thief.
Mr. Myers then replied that he did not
want any guard, that he could guard him
self, and, notwithst.tnding the praise which
the court was pleased to bestow upon his
predecessor, and ? tho insinuation against
himself, he believed that he had discharged
his duty well as an officer, and all the pay
he asked vas that to which he was en
titled by law.
At this F. O. McCown intruded and
asked Mr Myers if he considered letting a
horse thief go, and taking the horse which
the thief was riding, and selling hiin, dis
charging his duty. At this Mr. Myers told
Mr. McCown that his insinuation was a
falsehood, and that it was not. the first
falsehood he haduttcied against him. And
at this McCown grabbed a chair and made
for Mr. Myers. Mr. Mjers caught the
chair with his hand, and succeeded in get-
tino: it away from McCown. and struck
him with his fist, hitting him?a glancing
blow about the head. At this time the
combatants were separfed. -For
thus defending himself, when thus
assaulted, the court fined SherifF Myers fifty
dollars, and fined Mr. McCown twenty-five
dollars for making the assault. Why
SherifF Myers should be fined heavier than
his adversary, o'r why he should be fined
at all, is very hard to account for, unless
it is on the ground that he is a Democrat
and his adversary a Republican, whose
poimcai sentiments are me sentiments fn-
tertaincd by a majority of the court. After
showing his loyalty to the Republican
party in this manner, Judge Matlock toou
occasion to introduce the Enterprise, and
animadvert upon its statement in regard
to paying Jas. A. Smith one dollar for act
ing as clerk for some road viewers, and
two dollars and fifty cents for acting as
coroner's clerk on the inquest held on the
body of Thos. M. Barry, contending that
the coroner was legally entitled to have a
clerk, and thai such clerk was entitled to
pay. That the coroner can have a clerk,
if he wishes, wo do not doubt. But we
deny that such clerk is authorized by law,
or that he is entitled to pay out of the
public funds for such services, when ren
dered ; and we defy any person to show
any law authorizing the squandering of
the public money in this way. even if it
does go to a loyal, man.
We have considerable business in this
court, and our criticisms upon the pro
ceedings of the court may be prejudicial
to us, but this fact- will not prevent us
from making them whenever occasion de
mands. And further, we will say that if
the court attempt to" talk politics, or to
inflict some little personal vengeance from
the bench, we caniJot reply then and there,
in kind, without danger of subjecting our
self to punishment for contempt, and shall
not attempt it. But. because we do not
reply to such taunts or insults at the time.
that Court must not think the matter ended.
It is a part ot our dty as a journalist to
keep the public posted in regard to - its
officers and their discharge of their .duty,

Arc in such-fwretcbed condition that
we honesUrfthiuk that forbearance has
long sin ceased to be a virtue. In the

ttftfmail from Portland, via Damascus,
Eagle Creek, Clear Creek, and so on to
Silverton. The gentleman that bas the
contract run very regular for some time,
but getting dissatisfied "with some of the
road, (f;o he says,) obtained permission
from the Postal Agent to change the main
route by the way of Beaver Creek, and
Molalla on to Silverton, leaving some four
offices on the original route to be supplied
with a kind of a " one-horse switch line."
Our switch line now leaves Portland on
Saturdays, and arrives at Cuttingsville
as far as it goes on Sunday evening.
Returning, it arrives at Portland on the
next Saturday, performing the journey of
soms forty miles and back, in the remark
able quick time of just one week. And
the gentleman who carries the mail on the
switch route is not even very particular
about making the journey in one week, the
least excuse whatever will throw him back
another week.
At this day and age of tho world such
proceedings maj be rightly termed an out
rage upon the people along the route.
Better take our mails away from us entire

pend upon. The Postal Agent has been
requested to light this wrong, but as yet
nothing has been heard from him. This
seems to us rather peculiar, as the chicane

the whole matter in a nut-shell, it is about
like this : Send our mail by the way of
